madden 10 play accelerated playclock hate it or love it?

Among other things, the accelerated play clock has really killed my effectiveness (i suck, so my effectiveness scale is way low). Am i the only one who likes to shift and/or audible prior to the snap? by the time i choose my play, i have like 12 secs to line up, read the defense, audible, shift, hot route, etc b4 the delay of game penalty....WTFIGO? What about getting the defense to go offsides? that has been killed with the accelerated clock as well.

i dont run cheese plays or anything like that but i do like to read every part of the D and make changes, think peyton manning kind of thing. so no i dont like it at all just for that reason

i love it.

Its the good with the bad.

The good is you no longer have to deal with the guys who hot route for 20 minutes before every snap. And it keeps the game moving along.

The bad is if you do see something in the D you dont have much time to react.

IMO, worst modification to date. hot routing is part of the game...imagine they did that in a real game? peyton would be admitted to a mental hospital. the play clock is there for a reason, EA SHOULDNT disrespect it

I don't really like it either. Maybe mod it so it only affects the game clock and not the play clock. I know it might sound wierd but I think it would bring the same results they were hoping for when they made this modification.

no can do, at least for ranked games. acceleration is locked

I meant for next years madden, make the accelerator only on the game clock not the play clock.

i have no problem with it

I like it and it is more realistic. No way you can get to the line after the huddle and getting everyone back and have much more than 15 secs to adjust.

Now on a timeout or measurement or any other clock stppage it is different and should be changed to the full 45 secs. Because any team could get all their players to the line in those situations.

Just needs a little tweaking. IMO

it's cool now/since there's the 7minute quarter's in play so i got no problem.....let it be..

i like it it seems ther arnt as may glitches do to motion . main one being there are no qb walking that sucked last yr .all ppl did is audable to s*** to make it do it. now they just dont have a hole lot of time to pull dumb s*** off.

just go no huddle and your accelerated clock issues go away.

I really like it but i wish they had set it to stop at 15 seconds instead of 13 seconds. 2 more seconds would change everything. you shouldnt be able to get to the line and make 4 or 5 audibles and motions but at 13 seconds u barely have enuff time to get 1 motion across the field.

lol almost everyone i play against gets a penalty for delay of game on their 1st play

and that kind of helps a little lol

and so does your players stamina

I THINK THEY SHOULD GIVE U 20 SECS @ LEAST TO ADJUST

I like the idea that others are forced to make adjustments faster when they have the football.

I know my playbook very well, so it doesn't take me long to make a decision. Plus, I'm thinking about my next play as I'm being tackled or stopped on the previous play. Sometimes I even have as many as the next 5 plays scripted in my head.

I usually have a play selected with about 30-35 seconds left, and then with the accelerated clock...take 15 more off, but that leaves plenty of time for me.

That leaves plenty of time for me to do pre-snap adjustments, as it takes all of about 5 seconds for me to decide if I need to make any changes. Of course, I run the football a lot...and you're not stopping me, I won't even throw 10 passes in the entire game.

Same Ash, I don't find there to be a big issue though I do think 10 seconds might be better than 15 but not a big deal.

I will say, I'd like to see more options on game length in ranked games. Perhaps 3 options?

Maybe 5, 7, 10, and 15 minutes? I'd probably stick with 7 most of the time, but I might play a 10 minute game occasionally.

no huddle>

stop selecting plays scrolling through pages of ur playbook .. u deserve only 12 secs to start the play after u searching for every play possible...

being a maddenair you gotta know ur playbook inside out..by the time the last play ends i already know what i will do for the upcoming play


i always select my play with 38 secs left on the play clock which means i only expended 2 secs picking it. the max ill spend is 5 sec.

then i get to the line with 20 or 22 secs with time to do w/e i want
